Is there a method which removes all of the same elements from a list at once in python?

For example, list = ["a", "b", "c", "b", "b", "d"] How can I remove all of the "b"s? The easiest way I can think of, for now, is list = ["a", "b", "c", "b", "b", "d"] new_list = [x for x in list if x != "b"] Is there a method or a better way than this one? (I searched for similar questions, but I couldn't find any...I'm sorry if this is duplicated.)

Thank you for answering. But in your way, one "b" still remains. And if the list is list = ["a", "b", "c", "b", "c"] , then one "c" is also removed. I don't want other elements to be removed if they are duplicated.

It a rich comparison method In this , a!=b is written as a.__ne__(b)

just convert the list to a set, although you will have an unordered set.
